Nancy, Joan, John, and Jean, I often look back on all of the times spent with Junior, my Dad, and John. We shared a lot of good times and had a lot of good laughs whether Junior and my Dad were taking John and I hunting, trout fishing, or to Deltaville to fish out on the Bay. Junior will be greatly missed!

We have so enjoyed being neighbors from “across the street” for the past 8 years. Will miss you and your tractor! We’re right here for you, Nancy, always!
Luv,
Anne & Jim

Our deepest regrets go out to the family and friends of Jr. He was a true friend to us and a great guidance to me throughout the fire services. Gave many hours and sweat to Stafford Fire over the years. Will deeply miss him….
